JASPER FFORDE, AUTHOR OF THE NOVEL SOMETHING ROTTEN, INTERVIEWED ON
OCTOBER FAST FORWARD EPISODE.

Author Jasper Fforde is the featured interview on this month's
episode of Fast Forward: Contemporary Science Fiction. Fforde talks
about his latest novel, Something Rotten, as well as his writing
style, future projects, and croquet.

In conversation with host Tom Schaad, Fforde also discusses his
elaborate web site and on-line fan forum. According to Fforde, "I
tend to regard the web site not only as entertainment and after-sales
service ... but also like a big R & D lab for ideas." (You can find
Fforde's web site at www.jasperfforde.com.)

The October episode of Fast Forward also features Colleen Cahill's
review of Susanna Clarke's novel Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.

In addition, Marianne Petrino reviews the anime feature film Rupan
III: The Fuma Conspiracy.
